Anglo American Miner Is Set to Invest Millions in the Operation and Maintenance Project of the Minas-Rio Iron Ore System in Conceição do Mato Dentro
The investments of up to US$ 330 million that Anglo American will make in Brazil this year, around three-quarters will be allocated to the Minas-Rio iron ore system, located in Conceição do Mato Dentro, in the state of Minas Gerais. The mining company said that in 2020, the project had the best financial performance since it started operating in 2014.
Iron Ore Production in the Minas-Rio System
In 2020, Anglo American produced around 24 million tons of iron ore within the Minas-Rio system, an increase of 4% compared to what was produced in 2019. Thus, in 2021, production is expected to be 25 million tons or more.
Driven by rising iron ore prices, increased production, real cost depreciation, and cost reductions, the system’s cash flow increased by 60% as measured by Ebitda.
